At this very moment I am reminded of windy fall days, walking to school in Smiths Falls. For a period of maybe 2 weeks in grade 12, I was obsessed with the song Sad Lisa by Cat Stevens. I would walk to school with my earphones on, volume cranked. I would close my eyes during the violin bridge, and hope that I did not trip on anything. Anyway, I'm reminded because I'm listening to it right now, first time in a long while, and it's a cold and windy fall day.

Yesterday was a pretty eventful and happy day for me. Though my trip to the doctor's was painful and a chore, I managed to get one of my seminars over with, and I got my Shakespeare mark back. I was so nervous for my seminar. So far this Canadian Fiction class has been pretty thick with post modern theories and heavy political and ideological discussions. Needless to say, pretty over my head for the most part. So when appraoching me text, and discussing the sexuality within it, I was nervous that I would not be able to keep up with the trend of highly intelligent discussion. Much to my surprise, the prof really like what I managed to spew out, so I was pretty pleased with that. Must have been that Ativan I slipped before class.

The whole Shakespeare fiasco is finally over. I am so thrilled to never have to take another Shakespeare class. While I am prepared to teach it if and when I become a teacher, it is comforting to know that I won't have to write an exam on him ever again. Ask me how amazed and relieved I was when I saw that I passed the class (after only watching hlaf of the lectures and reading maybe 6 of the 12 texts). I still can't get over how I managed to swing that one.

I'm obviously extremely bored right now. I feel like just writing and writing to take up time before class. I might be going to SF on Friday. It's been a while since I've been there, let alone have gone out while there. Not sure about that yet though. I'm debating whether staying home and watching a movie on a friday night would be more exciting.

One more week till Blue Rodeo:-) We got out seat assignments yesterday. While not the best (5 rows back on the far left of the stage- meaning awkward angle view) I am still really stoked (haha, I said stoked) to go. Belleville is a nice town. Good memories;-)

Current favorite BR song: Falling Down Blue.
Jim Cuddy always gets me with his love songs, whether they be lamenting or celebrating, and how I'm always convinced that what he writes about is real. Believeing in the music is what gives it its power. Maybe that's why I like thier music so much. Anyway, download this song. It's a little sad, very slow and quiet, but also very nice.

It just occured to me that maybe I could be using this time to study. Imagine that.
I shall return.
